Installing and Setting Up Senteo Interactive Response System Hardware Connecting the Receiver to a Computer IMPORTANT For operating safety and to avoid damage to the receiver, you must connect the

USB connector of the interactive whiteboard only to a computer that has a USB compliant interface and that bears the USB logo. In addition, the USB source computer must be compliant with CSA/UL/EN 60950 and bear the CE mark and CSA and/or UL mark(s) for CSA/UL 60950. The receiver has a USB 2.0 full-speed peripheral interface that runs at speeds of up to 12 Mbps. The unit works with USB 2.0- and USB 1.1-compliant USB interfaces.

Recommended Height for Mounting the Receiver Although receivers don’t require an unobstructed line-of-sight transmission path, such as that required by infrared devices, you can operate the Senteo interactive response system over larger distances if you minimize interference, signal reflections and the number and size of objects between the receiver and the clickers. Choose a location for the receiver that is as high as possible, and in plain view of the student’s clickers. For permanent installations, you can use a USB extender so that you can mount the receiver high on a wall. To minimize interference from other radio-frequency equipment, position the receiver away from other wireless products, such as 2.4 GHz routers and cordless telephones. WARNING

To prevent product damage or personal injury, route the USB cable where it won’t be stepped on or tripped over.

To connect the receiver 1. For temporary installations, place the receiver on top of your desk. For permanent installations, you can mount the receiver on a wall or on the front of a piece of furniture using two screws (not provided).

Permanent Vertical Installation

Orient the receiver with the long side or edge facing the class as shown. 2. Insert the receiver’s captive USB cable’s connector into an available USB receptacle on your computer. On Windows computers, the Add Hardware Wizard appears. On Mac computers, a balloon message appears indicating that the hardware is ready to use.

NOTE: The OK button is enabled after you type a valid classroom name. A dialog box appears indicating that your installation is complete.

Extending the USB Cable If the provided 6' (1.8 m) USB cable attached to the receiver isn’t long enough, you can use active USB extender cables, USB extenders or hubs. The illustration to the right shows the SMART active USB extension cable (Part No. USB-XT). In some cases, you may be able to use up to four cables to extend the length to about 80' (25 m), which is the limit of the USB specification. Passive USB extension cables are not supported. NOTE: Some computers use internal active hubs to provide more USB receptacles. The computer’s operating system may see these internal hubs as external devices, limiting the number of USB extenders that you can use. Alternately, USB extenders that use Cat 5 cabling can extend the range to approximately 325' (100 m), at a much higher cost. The more economical SMART USB extender pair (Part No. CAT5-XT) shown on the next page can extend the USB connection up to 120' (36.6 m) using Windows computers or 90’ (27.5 m) using Mac computers using an RJ45 Cat 5 cable. Managing Senteo Interactive Response System Hardware

9

These units require that you use the provided 6' (1.8 m) cables or use cables and connectors that meet the same specifications. Impedance mismatches and poor connections can cause signal degradation and performance problems. USB hubs should also work with receivers. If you also use streaming audio through a shared USB hub, the receiver’s performance might become intermittent or otherwise unacceptable. USB extenders and hubs must be USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 compliant to work correctly. They must also provide at least 100 mA to the receiver.

Renaming the Classroom When you installed Senteo assessment software, you assigned a classroom name to the receiver’s network (see page 4 and page 9). If you move the Senteo interactive response system hardware to another location, you can use the following steps to change the classroom name.

To change the classroom name 1. Click the Senteo icon in the Windows notification area or Mac menu bar, and select View Class. 2. Click the Students tab (Windows operating systems) or button (Mac operating systems) if it isn’t already selected. The Students page appears. NOTE: You can’t change the classroom name if the receiver is on. To turn the receiver off, click Off (Power Save). 3. Click Edit > Classroom Information, or click the blue underlined text beside Classroom Name. The Classroom Information dialog box appears. 4. Type a new name into the box, with a maximum of eight characters, and click OK.

Importing Questions from Microsoft Word When importing questions from a Microsoft Word document, Senteo assessment software’s conversion software uses a variety of techniques to identify which paragraphs are questions, which are possible answers and what type of question to create. Its most basic technique is to look at the numbering of the paragraphs. The software also looks for key words when parsing the paragraphs. The software then converts the paragraphs into question set Notebook pages. The text below shows examples of five questions formatted so that Senteo assessment software can easily convert them to question pages. Notice that the last question isn’t numbered, but Senteo assessment software can successfully create a question by recognizing a key word. NOTE: Senteo assessment software can’t provide the correct answers to the imported questions.

Example Word Document Question Formats 1. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the majority of poor children live in: a. urban areas b. suburban areas c.

rural areas

2. Can you fill a 10 L aquarium with five 2 L pitchers of water? Yes No 3. True or false: Half of all even whole numbers are divisible by 4. True False 4. Let x = 3.

Using Senteo Assessment Software in the Classroom Before Class Begins Safety Tips for Teachers When using Senteo assessment software with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard and a projector: •

Tell students not to look directly at the light beam from the projector. Instead, encourage them to keep their back to the projector when working at the interactive whiteboard. Before they turn to face the class, they should take a big step (or even two) sideways.



Make sure you don’t look directly into the light beam from the projector. Keep your back to the class when you write over a projected image. Step to the side of the interactive whiteboard before you turn and face the class.



Tell your students not to touch the projector, as it can become extremely hot during normal operation.



Don’t use a chair to increase a student’s reach. If your students can’t reach the top of the interactive whiteboard, lower it. You may need to remount a wall-mounted unit to a lower position. If your interactive whiteboard is mounted on a floor stand, lower it with the help of another adult.



Tell students not to run in the vicinity of the floor stand, as they may trip over the floor stand’s feet.

When you use Notebook software to ask questions, Senteo assessment software uses the options you set in Senteo Manager to control how students use their clickers. We recommend that you follow the steps below before each class.

To start Senteo Manager 1. Click the Senteo icon in the Windows notification area or Mac menu bar, and select View Class. Senteo Manager appears.
